It may sound preposterous to digital chimps,
who cannot even walk in a straight line
without asking AI, but those of us humans
still have a functional brain, heart and spine.

I obliterate myself pouring out life,
beyond all known limits of literature,
only to be blamed for my himalayan immensity,
by the religious of hate and nationals of bigotry.

Yet I don’t hate you back, you’re still my children,
someday your own descendants will call your fall.
When I’m pissed at somebody’s stupidity,
I don’t get rude, cruel or violent,
I get extremely patronizing, unbearably brotherly,
that’s my way of not losing control.

First I was a monk, then I was a scientist,
later I was a poet, finally I am the Human Race.
You still hang from the trees,
yet you claim to understand the Himalayas!

Jai Insan, Chetna Sagar;
Jai Vivek, Vidyut Ujagar.
Rise Insan, Ilaaj Ilahi;
Al Hub, Hayat Paygamber.

Ik Onkar, Satnam Shahada;
One Insan Bodhi Vihara.
Born of Ash, Deed Amartya;
Once Ignited, Ashiq Ananta.

Vision Virat, Vajra Avinashi;
Kafir Kareem to Vidyesh Vinashi.
Unbent Akhanda in Realm Divided,
Dervish Divaane, Advaita Ruhani.

No hero, no charlatan saint,
no prophet out to herd a flock;
unhinged in duty, an unflinching flame,
I’m just a signpost on the cosmic clock.

Viva el humano, la cura para locura;
la verdad valiente ante miedo-mentira.
Persona es puente, el puente es la verdad;
corazón, mi razón – cerebro, mi arma.

Ek Insan, aur Ek Hi Lakshya,
Atut Asambhav, Nischal Nimagna;
Karma is action without agenda,
Dharma is duty without saffronmania.

By Karma we become Visvaroop,
No Dharma in Vanarvibhajan;
Sapiens stands Merhem-e Manavta,
Ananta knows no foreign-sanatan.

Ek Insan, Hoonkar-e Asmaan,
Khalsa in Veins, Noor-e Nadaan;
no togetherness, no tomorrow –
Awake, Arise, O Christly Insan.

Time is togetherness, time is memory;
benevolence before blood, life makes family.
What good is ape tradition and validation,
when time is my home, integration, my reality!

Monkeys pray monkeys to save them,
in danger human stands guard of humans;
when minister monkeys legislate lies as law,
it’s your cosmic duty to be Insan Armageddon!
